The following account of a letter seen in the process of materialisation
is part of a communication to ourselves from Mr. Mohini M. Chatterji, dated December 3rd,
1884. _______

At Bombay, in 1882, I witnessed a most remarkable instance of materialisation of
letter. I was in a room with Mr. Damodar and two other friends. Two or three
feet from us Mr. Damodar was writing at a table; we were otherwise engaged. Mr.
Damodar suddenly called out to us. We went up to the table, and saw a letter in the
process of materialisation; it seemed to grow. First was seen a small bit, which
expanded until an envelope was fully formed. It was addressed to one of us in the
familiar handwriting of a Mahatma. The addressee took it up, and found there were in
reality two letters, but so closely pressed together as to be easily mistaken for
one. In fact, he was not sure that the second letter, which was to me, did not form
itself in his hand. It is to be stated that Madame Blavatsky was not in the room at
the time of this occurrence.
